Now that is one pretty Mongoose! Thanx Okie! 0/0 0/0 0/0 0/0

Keep your camera on your desk, I would love to see more of the super mongoosies!

:-( I only have a lizard or two in the backyard and I have to get to them before the dash hounds do.. 0*\

Oh WoW! Okie! So jealuos I can die!

You must have a lovely backyard! If I was you, I'll never get any work done, just sit and wait to see who is coming to visit!
